Chapter 8/ Mina

It was Saturday. Hogsmead was put off until Sunday for some unknown reason.

Everyone was tired and distraught, Especially Lily.

"CAN YOU BELIEVE THIS!" Lily shouted," They're making me go to Saturday classes!"

"Lily! Lily calm. I thought you would be happy. Besides, It's just for today." Mina tried to reason.

"Yeah but do you know who my teacher is," Lily looked questioningly at them," No? Well let me inform you. It's POTTER! I SWEAR, out of ALL the students, it was POTTER!"

Then Lily stormed out of the room.

"Hey Mina, I've got Chris waiting for me downstairs, so I'll see you later. Kay" Then followed behind Lily.

Mina was now alone.

She walked down into the common room just in time to see Sarah walk out with her current boyfriend Chris.

Over by the fire she saw Peter, Sirius, and Remus sitting down.

To her surprise, Remus called her over.

She walked over.

"Lawrence(Mina's last name), uh… c-could you please do me a huge favor," Remus asked hopefully.

Mina nodded her head, she would probably do anything for Remus. She never told anyone, but she really liked him. That was the only reason she wanted to be friends with Sarah before. To get recognition from Remus. Not because she worshipped Sarah or anything. It was the same for Gabriella. Gabriella was in love with James. But now she just wanted to be Sarah's friend because she's cool and fun to hang around.

"Thanks," he sighed out happily, "You see I have to meet someone, and Peter and Sirius seriously need help with potions. Could you please, please help them."

"Sure R- er Lupin," Mina agreed.

Remus smiled, "Thanks again Lawrence, I don't know what I would do without you."

Then Remus rushed out of the common room.

Mina's eyes followed him until he left. Then she turned back to Sirius and Peter.

"Ok, so what are you having and problem with?" She asked.

"I don't get it," Sirius said.

………

……..

………

"oooook," Mina said," Well that's clear b-"

"No, I don't get it," he said yet again," How come your helping us. Were the Marauders,"

"I have no grudge against you," Mina smiled.

"Bu-" Sirius s started.

"No buts, I'm here to help you because you need it," Mina said, "So lets get to work."

Where James and Lily are---------------

"I KNOW POTTER, I'M NOT STUPID," Lily screeched.

James covered his ears, "Damn women, tryin' to make me go deaf is what your doin'"

"All I suggested was you try doing it a different way"

"I WAS TOP AT MY OLD DAMN SCHOOL AND I WILL DAMN WELL BE TOP AT THIS SCHOOL DAMN IT!" Lily screamed yet again.

"Girl! Calm DOWN!" James said grabbing her shoulders.

"YOU LITTLE-," Lily screamed as she jumped on him and strangled him to death. He was now on the floor struggling for air, "I'LL KILL YOU!"

That was how Remus found them.

"James!" Remus yelled rushing over to them with a mixture of amusement and worry on his face.

He pulled Lily off of James.

"Evans, Evans calm down," Remus said.

"Get off me Lupin!" Lily said.

"ok, ok. Sheesh." Remus said, "Anyway, I really have to meet this person so, I trust I can leave you two alone for at least an hour."

"NO! Remus please don't leave me!" James pleaded.

"James! Honestly, get a hold of yourself," Remus told him.

And then he left.

"Evans, ok, how about we just act civil to each other for the next four hours," James suggested.

"Just don't bug me and everything will be fine Potter," Lily informed.

James gulped.

Back to Sirius, Peter, and Mina---------

Mina worked with them patiently.

And to Sirius' surprise, he actually got it. But to everyone's surprise Peter got it too.

"Wow Lawrence, your smart," Sirius complimented.

"Thanks," Mina smiled.

She got up and got hit in the head with a book.

Apparently someone was stretching with a book in their hand and accidentally hit her. The book fell to the ground.

"I'm so sorry," Mina apologized, "Did I mess up your page."

"Don't say sorry, it was my fault," the kid said.

Mina just laughed nervously.

'this girl is to nice for her own good,' he thought.

Mina turned back to Sirius and Peter, "I hope you guys do well in potions, and if you need any more help, tell me,"

Then she walked off.

But she didn't make it very far, for two third years came up to her asking for help. She smiled at them and nodded.

They exited the common room and headed for the library.

James and Lily---------------

"I wasn't saying your slow Evans," James said through gritted teeth.

"Then what were you saying Potter," Lily said in the same tone.

"What I was saying that you need to go faster," James informed Lily.

"OH WHATEVER!" Lily screamed, "That's bullshit!"

"YOU'RE BULLSHIT!" James countered.

"Oh good one Potter. Now I know what to say next time I'm in an argument with you." Lily said sarcastically.

"YOU'RE JUST MAD BECAUSE I HAVE TO TUTOR YOU!" James.

"YOU'RE JUST MAD BECAUSE I'M SMARTER THAN YOU!" Lily yelled back.

"YEAH RIGHT! Just be quiet before I hex you." James stated.

"Whatever," Lily said.

But then her wand flew out of her hand.

Obviously James had shouted out the disarming spell.

With that Lily launched at him. And Yet again, James was on the floor.

"Oh come on!" said a annoyed but familiar voice.

Again Remus was in the room.

"You guys can't even last one hour by yourselves?" Remus said.

"Shut up Remus and go away," James said.

"Well," Remus said, "I know were I'm wanted." and then walked away.

Mina-------

"Thank you Mina," The third years said.

"No problem," She smiled.

Then, tired of sitting, she made her way back to the common room.

But then was soon bombarded with first years this time.

"Um, we were wondering if you could help us in transfiguration," the three first years said hopefully.

Again Mina just smiled, determined not to show them how tired she was even if it was so early in the afternoon. She didn't want anyone to worry. She really just wanted to read a book. But it was noticeable, And it was only noticeable by the three marauders Moony, Wormtail, and Padfoot.

"Sure, I'd be happy to," Mina said.

"GREAT!" the three children said before leaving with her.

moony, wormtail, padfoot----------------

"Wow, she just can't say no," Sirius stated.

"I feel bad for asking for her help this morning," Remus said.

"But she's great, I got everything," Peter added in.

"Yeah I guess," Remus sighed.

3 hours later---------------

"NEVER AGAIN AM I WORKING WITH THIS CREEP," Lily shouted busting into the common room.

"AND I'M NEVER WORKING WITH YOU!" James shouted back following behind her.

The whole common room stopped what they were doing and watched them stunned.

"YOU'RE A HORRIBLE TEACHER AND YOU JUST CAN'T ADMIT THAT I'M BETTER THAN YOU," Lily screamed.

"YOU'RE CRAZY. YOUR JUST SOME CRAZY PMSing-," James started but was cut off by Lily's wand which was pointing in his face.

"I wouldn't finish that sentence if I were you," Lily threatened.

"What are you gonna do, give me hair more red than yours?" James sneered.

"Watch it James, she just might," Sirius added in their little fight.

For the first time, Lily and James were aware of the people also in the common room.

"Potter why don't you just stop making a scene," Lily said and then went to her dorm.

"WHAT!," James screamed, "DID YOU GUYS SEE THAT. WHAT THE HELL!"

The rest of the marauders just laughed.

When Mina got into the common room.

It was James this time to call her over, "Oi! Lawrence , could you tell Lily to get off my case."

"OH! Well….um…..I….can't do that, sorry," Mina apologized.

"Damn Lawrence, I really wasn't expecting you to say yes, laugh if I had asked Sarah, she would have flat out told me no and then proceeded to tell me to go to hell," James stated.

Mina looked down, "Sorry,"

"Hey wai-," James started but Mina had already left.

"Wha?" James said looking at Remus, "What just happened."

Remus sighed, "James do me a favor, and don't joke with Lawrence."

"Alright alright, gosh," James said.

11:30 p.m.---------------

Everyone was in there dorms to wake up early for the Hogsmead trip.

Except for the Marauders.

But then Mina came down the stairs very tired looking.

"Oi Lawrence, come over here," Sirius said.

She quickly concealed her tired look.

Then she walked over to them," Mina," she stated.

"What?" Sirius asked.

"Call me Mina," Mina told them.

"Oh, ok, um, Mina," Sirius said, "What are you doing up."

"I have to meet someone who needs help in charms," Mina stated.

"But you've been helping people all day," Remus cut in.

"But I'm fine," Mina assured them even though none of them believed her.

Just on time, a seventh year girl came down the stairs.

She looked at the marauders. Her eyes widened. She pulled Mina away.

"Bye," Mina said before getting pulled away.

"Mina what are they doing here," The girl whispered, "I wanted my lessons to be private."

"I'm sorry Joanna, I didn't know," Mina apologized.

"Didn't know, why else would I meet you here at 11:30," Joanna said sternly.

"Damn it, you'll just have to meet me here again at 2:00," she commanded.

"A.M.?"Mina asked.

"Yes," she said.

"Oh………… ok," Mina said. Then they both made their way back to their dorms.

Little did they know the marauders could hear everything being said between them. And at 2:00, Mina came and waited, but the girl never came.

Remus was there though. But she didn't see him. She just went back to her dorm and went to sleep.
